Michael A. De Leon is a graphic designer by day, but wears many hats in his off time. In 2004, after several years of covering the Spurs, he started Project Spurs, a Spurs team fansite as an outlet to provide content to Spurs fans, while continuing to write for himself and learning the ins and outs of online publishing and web design. He has since built a writing team and started a popular weekly Spurs podcast called the Spurscast.

Scouting the Thunder: Spurs will need big contributions from all to stop Thunder

The San Antonio Spurs (15-9) are back on their winning ways as they’ve put together a three-game winning streak by defeating Memphis on the road, and fighting hard against the Rockets and Hornets back home (12-1). The Spurs will play their last home game for almost an entire month as the team hosts the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight before embarking on their nine-game traditional Rodeo Road trip.

In their last meeting in Oklahoma City, the Spurs were defeated 108-96 as the Thunder were led by All-Star starter Kevin Durant’s 21 points. The main dagger in the Spurs’ side that night though, was a player who is reminiscent of the Spurs’ injured Manu Ginobili – left handed James Harden, who scored 20 points off the bench in the last meeting.
